From their grandmother's mouth, Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying heard a bizarre and tortuous story without flaws. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the 30s, when the Fuso people colonized Manchuria, a small merchant seized the opportunity to do some import and export business -- in the words of the Han Chinese, "compradors."

Ten years later, the Fuso people were beaten away. The southern part of the peninsula was occupied by the Mi army, and the northern part was occupied by the Lucian army.

Business on the peninsula still has to be done, especially because the neighboring countries are fighting civil wars, and because the Lucia army in the north is wantonly demolishing things in the Fuso factories, and the officers and men at all levels are selling them to their own pockets in the corruption of military discipline, so that the prices of ordnance, heavy industrial materials, oil, and minerals in the north of the peninsula are extremely cheap.

The southern part of the peninsula is relatively a plain grain-producing area, and there are relief grains and various rations for the people of the country. The bureaucracy in the South also used all kinds of ink in the rationing process, resulting in relatively cheap livelihood goods on the black market.

If there is a price difference, there will be people who take risks.

The small merchant smelled the money, so he went to the border city of Kaesong, and for two or three years he did a business of pouring daily necessities from the south and heavy industrial products from the north, and gradually became a "big comprador".

By '49, relations between the North and the South were tense, and there were 2,000 cross-border fires throughout the year, making it naturally more and more difficult to do business.

As a result, the "big comprador" decided to secretly marry an officer of the Northern Army stationed on the northern border of Kaesong, who had already done business with him, and used the regular army to cover his smuggling.

He took his eldest daughter, Kwon Young-yeon, who was only 12 years old, from Seoul.

Unbeknownst to him, a few months after arriving in Kaesong, the war officially broke out.

The Northern Army attacked quickly and captured Kaesong at once. The "big compradors" want to run, it's too late.

Fearing that the "big comprador" would expose his previous secret deals, he commanded his henchmen to search for him and secretly execute him.

13-year-old Kwon Young-pyun escaped by pretending to be a passer-by because she had not been seen by the colonel of the Northern Army, and the people on the other side did not know her.

Before her father was arrested, he handed her a piece of sulphuric acid paper with some traditional characters and sketches written on it.

His commercial liquidity was hidden by him in a secret tunnel leading to the northern suburbs of Kaesong, which at that time was dug by the two armies on the border between the north and the south.

Kwon Yinglian knew the truth of her guilt, and she didn't dare to take out the money and take it with her in the chaos, not to mention that she didn't have a chance to enter the military restricted area, let alone escape back to Seoul, which was already a "foreign" territory, after all, she was just a child at that time.

She had to disguise herself as an ordinary orphan of war, surviving the war in which two million young men died, and orphans were everywhere.

In this way, Kwon Young-pyun lived in the orphanage camp until the end of the war. Until one day, a volunteer-officer who was 10 years older than her and lame came to the orphanage camp and wanted to pick a woman like an animal, and as a result, he fell in love with Kwon Young-pyeon, whose appearance and temperament were far superior to other girls.

The officer seemed to have a bad temper and was a heavy drinker. Kwon Young-ryeon, who was only 16 years old, couldn't resist at all and was taken away. Later, she learned that this officer was a little self-defeating because he was crippled, and he didn't want to return to China to harm the daughter of a good family, so he wanted to find a war orphan to mess around casually for the rest of his life.

……

Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying were shocked for a long time and couldn't say a word.

It wasn't that he didn't fail to figure out the flaws in the story, but when he tried to ask, his throat felt as dry as if it were sticky.

"No, even if it's true, as you say, you won't have a chance to get that money out in wartime. But why haven't you told him the truth since the war ended and you married your grandfather? Isn't he an officer? He should have the right to enter the forbidden area at the front line, right? Wouldn't our family have already become a rich man?" Gu Cheng pondered for a long time and asked this question with difficulty.

Grandmother shook her head, revealing a very sad expression: "Chengcheng, you don't know the environment at that time. First of all, your grandfather is only a deputy battalion commander, and the rank is not enough. Secondly, do you think he had a relationship with me at that time? I have no doubt that if your father had learned that I was the daughter of a 'bureaucratic comprador capitalist' before he was born, he would have shot me to death, denounced it to the organization, and then went to the orphanage camp to find another girl. ”

Gu Cheng was stunned, but he couldn't refute it.

At that time, I really paid attention to what kind of struggle......

There are many examples of sons being forced to denounce their parents, and the imperial court is eager to transform the Chinese nation into bearded disciples. In those days, even if there was money, there was nowhere to spend it, and it might have hurt the whole family, and from this point of view, it may not have been a good choice to withdraw wealth at that time.

Grandmother looked at Gu Cheng's expression and knew that he had understood, so she continued to increase the size.

"Later, your father and Xiaoying's mother were born, and your grandfather finally had some feelings for me. But immediately there were all kinds of movements and catastrophes, and I naturally did not dare to say -- you forgot how your grandparents died? Just because there were relatives on the other side of the strait, the whole family died in the cowshed. At that time, could I have said this kind of thing and hurt everyone?"

The sister and brother nodded dejectedly: "Can't ......"

"Until the 80s, your grandfather was 50 years old. Lord Deng has finally set things right. I don't think there will be any more repetition before I dare to tell your grandfather. But at that time, Hualu was in bad spirits, and Beiyi fell to the Lucians, and the relationship with Huaxia was not good. It is impossible for Chinese people to enter Beiyi, and I said it in vain, and I didn't tell your father later. ”

Gu Cheng was anxious: "Then when Dad wanted to speculate in stocks in '96, or even before the accident in '98, why didn't you say it! If you say it, there won't be so many tragedies, our family ......?"

The grandmother looked pained, and seemed to regret that she hadn't gambled in the first place.

Pan Jieying twisted her brother: "How do you speak! Grandma doesn't want that tragedy the most, and you still expose her scars." ”

Gu Cheng hurriedly explained: "I'...... I'm too anxious, grandma, I'm sorry you know what I mean. ”

The grandmother shook her head slowly, stopping Pan Jieying from accusing her brother.

"Xiaoying, let Chengcheng say that he is right. I regret that, too. At the time, I didn't know how difficult your dad was. But more importantly, Kaesong was still a forbidden area on the front line of Beiyi at that time, and we couldn't go there -- in 92, Huaxia and Dongyi established diplomatic relations, and in the following years, the relationship between Huaxia and Beiyi fell to a freezing point, and all possibilities for Chinese people to enter the Kaesong restricted area were blocked.

Even if you say it, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable for your dad to scratch his heart and not get it? Of course, I don't know how things will develop to that point and there will be so many accidents. If it was foreseeable, I would have told him all of them, regardless of the cost. ”

Pan Jieying was afraid that her younger brother and grandmother would be estranged, so she didn't give her younger brother a chance to speak, so she directly grabbed the conversation: "What about now? Why did you tell Ah Cheng again? Could it be that Ah Cheng can get the money now?"

This time, Gu Cheng's reaction finally became faster, and he took the initiative to answer: "I think I know the answer." ”

Pan Jieying looked at her younger brother in surprise: "You know?"

"Yes. Gu Cheng said with certainty, and his eyes regained a look of wisdom. However, before he could confirm the answer, he added a question to his grandmother, "Grandma, have you always read the international news of your homeland?"

Grandmother nodded: "Yes, I have always watched it." ”

"What kind of dumb riddles are you playing, Ah Cheng can say it if you know. Pan Jieying couldn't stand the ink, so she asked Gu Cheng to simply order.

Gu Cheng said calmly: "On June 15, Jin Xiaozhong and Jin Zaicao completed negotiations and issued the "North-South Joint Statement". According to the statement, August 15, that is, half a month ago, was the first meeting of the bereaved families of the war separation, and the meeting place was at the forefront of Kaesong Panmunjom. At the same time, the northern leaders agreed to prepare for the Kaesong Industrial Development Zone, allowing southern capital to enter. The Mt. Kumgang Tourist Area and the Kaesong Tourist Area were also opened.

So, Grandma must have seen the news and thought that after 50 years, the Dongyi people in the south finally had a chance to enter Kaesong—right?"

"Yes, exactly. Grandmother nodded and said with relief, "Chengcheng has been in Dongyi for two years, I don't know if you know any related households that can bring you in, but at least this is an opportunity."

I'm telling you today, I don't expect you to have a way to take out the ancestral relics right away, you can wait until the time is ripe to find a way. I just don't want you to take risks because of lack of money and cash, so I'll give you peace of mind. ”

Gu Cheng comforted his grandmother: "I know, I'm still young, so I won't be in a hurry." ”

"Also, the reason why I tell you both at the same time today is to let you know that I have always been a bowl of water, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat. Chengcheng, if you do take out that thing one day, don't forget that there is half of your sister in it. You can embezzle it temporarily, but you must return it to your sister in the future. ”

"Grandma, don't worry, I can endure it, how can I worry about my sister's money. If I misappropriate, I will at least double it in the future. ”

Gu Cheng agreed very arrogantly, he knew that his grandmother was not a patriarchal person.
